We got the standard, Helmet Cam, Pole Cam, Car Cam, Timelapse Road trip Cam, Jump into the pool and make funny faces underwater Cam, The Hold really low to the ground to make things look big Cam, and the ever so popular strap to my foot Cam. Not to mention the Oh, what is that thing? Oh, its nothing, hidden camera Cam. Any other ideas or uses for Go Pro's? Cuz summer is coming fast and I wana get some good use out of that thang.

Cliff jumping cam, waterskiing/wakeboarding cam, go to a house party with it on your head cam.....

I kinda want to get one when I go overseas and strap it to my helmet and let it watch me change truck tires or walk around the base, in the hopes of it catching something actually interesting

I was thinking of getting multiple smaller cards, like 4 or 8 gb so in case I get in trouble for filming something "sensitive" and told to give up the footage I don't lose 32 gb of footage, and I can mail the cards  home a periodic intervals that way too. (even 4gb of footage is quite a bit anyway)

yea, that makes sense, if you do it, let newschoolers know, and post it up, or have you parents post it on the web from home. I't would deffinatly be sick to do, and if you don't have the cam yet, go pro would probably give you one.

longboard works great, especially if you speed it up like 3x, it looks sweet!

also aquarium cam is quite funny!

or kite-cam (looks sick as aids!!)

or dog-cam, also quite cool!

Dog cam sounds pretty cool if your dog wouldn't mess with it.

Well besides any kind of action sport, including kayaking, mountain biking, sky diving, and whatever else you care to get a POV shot of.


How about birthday parties? Need both hands, yet have the helmet cam attachment? Strap on a Go Pro!

Obviously porn has been said, but I say you just strap it on to a dildo and ask your girl to go at it....and then upload said footage to NS

To modify the cliff jumping cam:

Rig a parachute that will allow the cam to drop slowly. Angle the camera down towards the water. Drop the camera, let it fall for a few seconds. Then start jumping past the camera, so it gets a shot of you mid air, the catches you hitting the water. Would be awesome if you could get a shot of 10 people jumping in a row.

Paintball cam?

Slow mo shots of shooting pumpkins at a range (if you are willing to risk your camera)

merry-go-round? Last I checked they removed every one of those things from all the playgrounds near me. That and see-saws. Apparently, the newer generations of children are too stupid to use them without hurting themselves and others.

Crutch cam? My brothers on crutches, he could put it on the end of a crutch and film funny stuff.

if you've got a cat that you let go outside and then just come back whenever, strap it to the cat, see what it does for the day

Ahahahaha golden. My neighbor has a cat they let outside everyday, it greets me after school after I get out of the car almost everyday. Other than that, it sleeps and occasionally hunts stuff. I'd like to see it kill something through go pro cat vision.
